Lessons Learned
• Budgets are volatile and shrinking
• DHS isn’t kidding when they say money is scarce –and it
will continue to shrink
• DHS needs to compete for resources in a very austere

• Know your customer! Their pressure points include not
just limited resources but continued pressures to
perform. Oversight, oversight, oversight
• Join us for an upcoming Hill day where you can meet the
people who write these bills…
